I just can't understand why people would vote no. It's a no brainer for me.

molgrips - 69% of those who voted thought it was a 'no-brainer' for them too...

Or perhaps democracy in action?

Of course I voted. But who gives a shit what I think though when everyone is happy! I think voting should be compulsory, with an extra box to Abstain.

I dont get it. Why wouldnt people vote for voting reform? Unless people are going down the lines of we dont want AV but want PR instead.

Well done SNP to get what they have worked hard for. A majority in a system designed by Labour so that a majority of any party could not happen. Brilliant on the no to AV.

in a country where the most popular tv programme is x-factor and the sun the most popular newspaper 'no brainers' best describes the population

just because the most people vote for it, it doesn't mean it's the right choice. it's just the one most people voted for (in a two choice poll, obviously).

So, anyone who disagrees with your opinion is automatically an idiot are they?

Perhaps you should spend a bit more time exploring the range of views surrounding the situation.

Brilliant quote on BBC website - 'Elections expert Prof John Curtice says the No campaign has apparently won the referendum by securing the support of older people, Conservatives and those who have not enjoyed a university education'.
Wrong on all three counts in my case...

Mate of mine at work voted 'no'. Interested I asked him why. He actually said that he thought that AV was the better system but, as he put it 'the British public are really stupid so keep it simple'. Mind you I don't think he considers politics much because he didn't know who to vote for so voted for one Tory, one Labour and one Independent!
Oh well.

Well at least with the 'No' vote no babies are going to die!

Well you don't seem to as you believe he's putting self interests ahead of the greater good.

Is that why the entire Yes campaign appeared to be composed of well known TV celebrities, luvvies and third rate comedians then?

i should rephrase that 'as a scientist i respect him immensely'
(tho not necessarily as a phd supervisor
-his phd students both complained that he was never around)Posted 1 year ago # -
i was only aware of eddie izzard, id say he was 2nd rate to be fair
but the yes campaign was particularly poor, they didnt have any pictures of dying babies for a start!Posted 1 year ago # -
<doffs cap to Z11>
Eddie Izzard made my mind up
Posted 1 year ago # -
Clearly of course, if such political luminaries as Joanna Lovely, Colin Firth, Helena Bonham-Carter, Tony Robinson, Stephen Fry AND Eddie Izzard were for it, it must have been a good thing for politics
Posted 1 year ago # -
you know now i think about it youre right z11,
ive been such a fool
the no camp had far better celebs kriss akabousi, david gower and........
sadly i dont think thats a real flyer (no dead babies) but he was on radio4 backing the no vote
